Re: pic: 6CIM WCD
Our 2011 and 2012 robots were entirely riveted, no welding of the frames. Our 2011 WCD was not noticably different from the others in terms of strength or rigidity.
I hate anecdotes, but I'll be a hypocrite; Rivets hold airplanes together.
Also, the bellypan doesn't have to be exotic like 233/254 does. We made two of those and while they are cool, the resource cost is so high. We've run both garolite (G-10/FR4) and a high quality 6mm plywood with great results.
